Institut für Bienenschutz
Research activities include the interplay between bee populations and agriculture, including horticulture, viticulture and forestry. Different management strategies are investigated, aiming at a higher environmental compativility of cultivation in different production systems. Recommendations and concepts for the protection and promotion of bees are developed, considering the agricultural benefit from honeybees, bumblebees and other wild bee species. Methods are devised for further reduction of the risks for honeybees, bumblebees and other wild bee species.
